For anybody looking for a tightly written overview of recent events, Osborne’s piece is certainly worth a read.

Thanks for this wonderful article. The sort of thing many would miss if you were not scanning the internet for them.
The situation doesn’t look promising and there’s no indication of whether the level of violence that once saturated society there has gone down or not.
All the west can obviously do is sponsor more education, if only to empower women from the pressures of early childbirth.
IMHO Thailand is the most obvious living encyclopedia of appropriate technologies and business ideas that Cambodians can avail themselves of, but through **direct links between Thai SMEs and business people themselves**.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved.
